He at length recovered sufficiently to be
taken home, and when another month had
passed herejoined his regiment and served
to the end of the war. His wlfes health
had been undermined by the long vigil at
his bedside. She fell into slow and grad
ual decline and not long after Lees army
had surrendered and her husband had been
mustered out of service she died.
Wifeless for the second time, Henry Leo
ley seemed to lose interest in all things
around him, and in his great grief to
shrink from all human companionshlp. For
the past twenty years he has been silent
solitary man, trusting the conduct OF ms
affairs almost wholly to nephew whom he
had adopted and whose young wife was the
only other inmate OF the quiet household.
AS FROM THE DEAD.
A few weeks ago there was placed in his
hand letter addressed to his dead father
in-law. At sight of the familiar hand
writing lie trembled and grew pale. TWAS
from the long-absent wife OF his youth.
Hastily breaking the seal he read that she
was poor outcast, who, weary of her
wretched life, prayed her fathers forgive
ness, and implored him to take her back TO
his heart and home
The letter was dated at Chicago, and
within few hours Lebley was on his way
to that city. What passed between husband
ana VIE at their first meeting Is, or course,
known only to themselves. 1t has since
been learned that Mrs Lebley eloped with
johnson, who overame her scruples by an
Indiana divorce and marriage with him:
After a few years of wretchedness and
poverty he had cruelty abandoned her, and
she had gradually sunk lower and lower
until at last she had resolved, like the prod
igal son, to arise and go to her father.
REUNITED IN LOVE.
The sight of his first sweetheart and wife,
Whose memory, in spite of himself. Lebley
had fondly cherished in his heart through
out the long years, rekindIed all the ardent
passion of his youth. He forgot and for
gave everything aud to-day, in the little
dusty room which Squire Ofrey calls his
office, Henry Lebler and Minnie Sexer re-
peated the same vows Of love and constancy
that they had made to eacn other three
decades ago. Despite the long years OF suf-
fering through which she had come to
peace at last, Mrs Lebley'S face is beau
tiful one still

A ROMANCE FROM LIFE.
An Old Soldiers Re-marriage to the
Wife of His Youth.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
ECONOMY, PA, Sept. when Henry
Lebley, an old soldier, was quietly married
to-day in the home of Squire Offrey, in
Wrgsville, a little village about six miles
from here, it was the second time that he
and the frail woman by his side had made
those VOWS The romance of their lives is
like the imagining of fertile-brained story
writer. 1t was the closing act in a drama
upon which the curtain was rung up more
than twenty years ago.
1t was in June, 1857, that Henry Lebley,
promising young farmer of II, who had in
herited from his father wha' was a snug lit
tie fortune in those days, first began to pay
his addresses to Minnie Sexer, a farmers
daughter of 10, who was then one of the rtI-
raj bellies of Beaver county She seemed to
favor him until a dashing young Southerner.
named Harvey johnson, who claimed to be-
long to one of the best families of Kentucky,
appeared in the neighborhood and became
Il rival of the honest young farmer for her
hand. Then she seemed to forget that Leb-
lev ever existed, and his suit would have
Jared badly but for Minnies father, who
brought such pressure to bear upon his fair
daughter that she at length unwillingly CON
scented to become Lebley's wife. Ii was very
evident, however, that her infatuation for
johnson was complete The latter seemed
greatly affected by the loss of his sweet
heart and disappeared shortly before the
wedding.
The honeymoon had scarcely passed when
Mrs. Lebley received letter purporting to
come from an old schoolmate, vino had gone
10 reside in Ohio, and who urged the newly
made bride TO pay hen a visit. With her
husbands consent, Mrs. Lcbley left home
ostensibly for that purpose, but never from
that time until to day was she seen in
WrigsVille again. When the time set for
her return had passed her husband and her
father made every effort TO find her. but
without avail.
LEBLEY MARRlES AGAIN
Three yeals passed by. and then the de
serted husband married again. The father
of the missing bride had never recovered
from the shock % his daughters disappear
ance, and had died broken-hearted man
within year after its occurrence leaving
TO his son-in-law property amounting 20
some S30,000--all he possessed-with the
condition that the legatee should never re
lax his efforts TO find his missing wife. and
that when found, no matter how great her
o.fenses might have been, he should make
suitable provision for her
When the civil war broke out in 1861 Ieb-
ley was one of the first three-years' men en-
listed from Pennsylvania. He passed
through many battles unscathed, hut at
Gettysburg he received what the surgeons
feared would provo mortal wound. His
young wife, whose tenderness and truth had
consolcd him for the disappointment and
unhappiness Of his first marriage, hastened
from her country home 20 her husbands
bedside, and during the long weeks that he
lowered between life and death nursed him

THE BANCROFT LIBRARY

There is a bill before the Califor-
mia Legislature to appropriate $780,
600 for the purpose of purchasing
a lot of books from FL. I'll, Bancroft
4 Co. of San Francisco. Mr.. Ban
croft accumulated these books and
things for use in compiling his Pa
cific Coast histories, and now that
he is through that work of history
building, the State, is offered, for
the sum named, the library of ref
erence.
A good many think this is large
sum to pay for what they call "a
collection of old literary rubbish.
1t will be a good investment for
the State of California. however,
and the time will come when such
a rare collection of books, papers
and manuscripts would be worth
anyway from 100000 to million
dollars. Time adds value to such
collections as these and the mass
of literary rubbish collected By
Bancroft represents years of pa
tient toll and research, and the
value of time and experience which
no money can represent Mr. Ban
croft Is now on the most exhaust
i've series of historical works ever
published in America, and In the
midst of his labors the accu;nula-
tions of a life time were swept
away by fire. No doubt he needs
this bagatelle of $250,000 to com
plete his historic works in which
he has already sunk a million.
California will indeed prove itself
ungrateful if it does not purcha SO
this library and it will also prove
itself short-sighted in business if
it lets such a chance pass.
